Please join us as we welcome Miss Bee for a Wiggle & Giggle playgroup! Every class begins with our Hello song. Our 45-minute mixed age classes are crafted with fun in mind. The first 30 minutes of each class students engage in story time, music, and movement with traditional and original children’s songs. We use puppets, scarves, streamers, parachutes, bubbles, shakers, and other instruments during classes. The last 15 minutes of class is dedicated to play through exploration and socialization. Children will play with each other, toys, and explore independently while their grownup steps back and observes.

Before the paint on the canvas dries, the artist secures the canvas to a platform that can be rotated at high speed. Once the canvas is secure, the artist can then begin spinning the canvas.
